Proverbs 24:15-16
Can the godly fall? I Corinthians 10:12 says, “Let
anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he
falls”. The devil is more interested in the godly. He
wants you to fall, to compromise and tell lies. Satan
tempted Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11. His mission was to cause Jesus to fall from grace and God's standard. But he could not succeed because Jesus exercised authority against him through God's word.
Peter denied Jesus thrice (Matthew 26:69-75). He
was confronted three times as being a follower of
Jesus but he denied and said he never knew Jesus at all. Immediately the cock crowed, Pete remembered the word of Jesus which said unto him, before the
cock crows, thou shall deny me thrice and he went
out and wept bitterly. Peter repented and was
restored back. He was mightily used by God to
proclaim Jesus. He never denied Jesus anymore.
In John 21:15-17, Jesus delegated Peter to feed His
lamb and his sheep. If Peter had not risen from his
fallen state, he would have ended up his ministry like Judas Iscariot (Act 1:25).
If for any reason you fall, or if you have fallen, do not
remain in your fallen state. Repent and rise again.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to overcome temptations that are Satanic traps for my fall in Jesus' name.
